Deltoid
30
What is the name of the muscle that is located at the top of the shoulder?
Rotator cuff
31
What is the agonist?
The working muscle that is contracting and shortens
32
What is another name for the agonist?
Prime mover
33
What is antagonist?
The non working muscle that is relaxing and lengthening
34
What is the agonist and antagonist at extension at the elbow?
agonist = tricep
antagonist = bicep
35
What is the agonist and antagonist at flexion at the elbow?
agonist = bicep
antagonist = tricep
36
What is the agonist and antagonist at extension at the knee?
agonist = quadricep
antagonist = hamstring
37
What is the agonist and antagonist at flexion at the knee?
agonist = hamstring
antagonist = quadricep
38
What is the agonist and antagonist at extension at the hip?
agonist = gluteals
antagonist = hip flexors
39
What is the agonist and antagonist at flexion at the hip?
agonist = hip flexors
antagonist = glutials
40
What is the agonist and antagonist at plantar flexion?
agonist = gastrocnemius
antagonist = tibialis anterior
41
What is the agonist and antagonist at dorsi flexion?
agonist = tibialis anterior
antagonist = gastrocnemius
42
What is a isometric contraction?
Where the muscle stays the same length and therefore no movement occurs
42
What are some examples of isometric contractions?
.plank
.rugby scrum
.gripping a tennis racket
43
What is a isotonic contraction?
Where the muscle changes length and therefore courses movement.
44
What is concentric contraction?
Where the muscle contracts and shortens
45
Examples of concentric contraction?
.flexing whilst preparing to pass a ball in netball
.preparation phase of kicking a ball (flextion)
46
What is eccentric contraction?
When the muscle contracts and lengthens
47
When does eccentric contraction usually occur?
The downwards phase of a downwards movement
48
What is an example of an eccentric contraction?
Downwards phase of a bicep curl
49
What is extension?
Increasing the angel at the joint (straightening the joint)
50
What is flextion?
Decreasing the angle at the joint (bending the joint)
51
What is rotation?
Movement where a limb rotates around its long axis (of the bone). A circular movement where part of the body turns whilst the rest of the body still remains still.
52
What is circumduction?
The joint moves in a circular movement or cone like movement.
53
What is abduction?
Sideways moving limb away from the midline of the body
54
What is adduction?
Sideways moving limb towards the midline of the body.
55
What is plantar flextion?
The action of pointing toes away from the body.
56
What is dorsi-flextion?
The action of pulling toes towards the body
